The World Academy

King Abdullah Economic City's Al-Morouj district is home to The World Academy, a co-educational international school serving students from primary through secondary grades. The school operates in Esmeralda, a neighborhood within the broader economic city development on Saudi Arabia's western coast. The World Academy draws families from the immediate district and surrounding residential areas, offering international-curriculum instruction in a growing school community.

Annual fees start from SAR 40,000 per year. The school is not currently accredited by the Ministry of Education. Without that accreditation, transcripts may require additional steps if a family later moves the student into the national-system pipeline — a practical consideration worth confirming directly with the school before enrollment. The school does not offer installment plans, so the full annual fee is due as a single payment at the start of the academic year. Published parent reviews are not yet available, so there is no established rating signal at this stage. Co-educational international schools in the economic city are less common than in the major metropolitan centers, which may be relevant context for families assessing their options in this newer development area.
